What is on my mind:
I got to start back on Synthroid and eat a normal dinner. What a day! My appetite has been a little off - but I got a burrito from Tory’s to celebrate.

How my body feels:
My neck is still sore - and my ankle hurts, so exercising isn’t pleasant. I was also slightly irritable today, too. But not as bad as before. Just a little snappy with my parents.
What I did today to reach my treatment goals:
Started meds, and off the LID! Back to “normal” since normal now means taking a pill every day. I got used to not taking anything! But now I have to go back to always setting my alarm. Sigh.
Today I felt: Great. Weight: 122lb

What is on my mind:
That I can’t wait to start living normally. I get to eat a normal dinner tomorrow. I am psyched! I think I want a Tory’s burrito! I’m afraid I’ll gain weight being off the diet though.
How my body feels:
My neck is getting sore. The front near where the RAI is being taken up. It hurts when I yawn, which is weird. Its my glands that are sore. Otherwise, I feel great!
What I did today to reach my treatment goals:
Nothing much - just taking it a day at a time. Its all I can do. Went to Coolidge, took a long walk to get out of the house. Stay active. It felt good.
Today I felt: Great. Weight: 122 lb.

What is on my mind:
That I have a long 2+ days left to be alone. Luckily after 3 days, I can pretty much go back to normal. But I’ll try to do good things alone too - be outside or something.
How my body feels:
Fine! Had a bit of a headache around 10pm, took Tylenol and feel better. We’ll see how tomorrow is. But I don’t feel any different, which is weird.
What I did today to reach my treatment goals:
Had my RAI! That’s a big treatment goal . . . haha! The biggest. But it went perfectly, and I got great pictures of the experience. Good for memories.
Today I felt: Great. Weight: 122 lb.

What is on my mind:
Finally really nervous about tomorrow but I’m sure I’ll sleep fine. It’s just appointments, and stuff I have to do! It’ll be a breeze, I’m sure.
How my body feels:
Pretty damn good! No real complaints not even that tired. I was kinda irritable earlier - I’ve been like that a bit lately. Saturday was really bad.
What I did today to reach my treatment goals:
Got my room ready for isolation! Nice TV and DVD player. Should be a fun time. Haha.
Today I felt: Great. Weight: 122lb
What is on my mind:
Today’s doctor appointment were a breeze. Nothing to worry about. I’m hanging out with Lance tonight which is good for me. I’m excited.
How my body feels:
Tired, but a lot better. I have a bad headache, and neck ache that won’t go away, even with medicine. That’s my only complaint today.
What I did today to reach my treatment goals:
Just relaxing and enjoying my time. I was very cautious because of my scan dose, but still was able to have fun.
Today I felt: Very good. Weight: 122 lb
What is on my mind:
I can’t believe I go for my scan tomorrow. Unbelievable. It’s finally here after six months of waiting.
How my body feels:
Like I’ve been hit by a bus. I was at work late - and stayed in bed until 12:30ish but still felt horrible. No energy, and exercising did NOT help.
What I did today to reach my treatment goals:
Today I felt: Not good. Weight: 121 lb

What is on my mind:
I feel good! The sun was beautiful today, so I spent time relaxing outside.
How my body feels:
Kinda tired - but I still went to Coolidge and exercised. I did laps and stopped half way to do pull downs and crunches.
What I did today to reach my treatment goals:
Today I felt:
• Tuesday, May 13th, 2008
What is on my mind:
I’m starting to feel a little different. Several times today, I wondered if I was wearing appropriate clothes. I had to pat myself down to make sure I had jeans on! It was a very weird feeling.
How my body feels:
My stomach really didn’t feel good today when I tried to exercise, so that was bad. I think it was because I didn’t eat much this morning/afternoon.
What I did today to reach my treatment goals:
Today I felt: Very good.
What is on my mind:
I can’t believe I haven’t gained or lost any weight! The diet and exercising must be very helpful!
How my body feels:
Still having trouble sleeping. I got up at 11ish, and then back to bed from 1-4. I just felt “off” today - but still good. It’s just the trouble sleeping that bugs me.
What I did today to reach my treatment goals:
Exercising when I got up at 4 made me feel better - just to get out of the house.
Today I felt: Good. Weight: 120lb
• Saturday, May 10th, 2008
What is on my mind:
I’m tired - but want to go out and do things! I went to the mall, and got all the things I needed in under an hour. Got mom’s mothers day present - it’s good to get things done!
How my body feels:
Tired from being up late (2am), from work and not getting great sleep. But I exercised and that makes me feel better mentally and physically.
What I did today to reach my treatment goals:
Just going out to do things is good for me, plus we all stayed late at work, and that is always fun. I took lots of good pictures of everyone.
Today I felt: Great.
